Important Notice regarding changes in EASY Card Terms and Conditions:

Dear Customer:

Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) is changing the EASY Card Terms and Conditions. MDT has revised the minimum and maximum cash value amounts that can be loaded on an EASY Card using the Autoload system.

Effective, January 1, 2012:

Cash Value: Five dollar ($5) Autoload will no longer be available. The new minimum cash value available for Autoload will be $10.
Pass Options: Pass options available are the 7-Day Pass ($26), 1-Month Pass ($100) or 1- Month Pass with a Metrorail Parking Permit ($110).
- IMPORTANT: Please note that the 1-Day Pass will no longer be available for Autoload.
- Customers wishing to Autoload 1-Day passes must now choose from the following options:
  1. Loading a minimum $10 cash value
  2. Loading a 7-Day Pass ($26)
  3. Loading a 1-Month Pass ($100)
  4. Loading a 1- Month Pass with a Metrorail Parking Permit ($110)

When choosing to Autoload a 7-Day Pass, please note the pass is valid for seven consecutive days counting from the first day that you tap the card. A 1-Month Pass is valid for only one calendar month and expires at the end of the month.

EASY Card

The EASY Card is a durable plastic reloadable fare card. It is part of Miami-Dade Transit's automated fare collection system. Fareboxes with "smart card" technology are installed on buses and fare gates at all Metrorail stations.

Visitors and people who are not daily commuters can take advantage of the EASY Ticket. It works like the EASY Card, but expires after 60 days and is made of paper.

To ride Metrorail, you must use an EASY Card or EASY Ticket as the faregates do not accept cash. Metrobus fareboxes still accept cash, and you can pay using dollar bills, quarters, dimes, and nickels.

NOTE: Each customer is required to have their own EASY Card/EASY Ticket to use the Metrobus and Metrorail system. It is not possible to "pass back" an EASY Card/Ticket among various people and deduct multiple trips for multiple riders.

Delivery of EASY Cards ordered online

Please allow up to 30 days for the delivery of your EASY Card before contacting us. When placing an order online, you will receive an automatic email receipt of your order shortly after your order is submitted. Miami-Dade Transit is not responsible for delays in the U.S. Postal Service.

Please note that the last day to order a parking permit ($10) online for the following month is on the 20th of the previous month. (For example, you must pay for the July parking permit by June 20th)

We currently do not accept international orders. However, international and domestic visitors can purchase an EASY Card or EASY Ticket at the EASY Card vending machine at the Miami International Airport, located in the bus-waiting room in Central Terminal E at ground level (arrivals), across from short-term parking.

You can also buy an EASY Card at:

EASY Card vending machines at any Metrorail station or the Golden Glades Park & Ride lot.
Any of our sales outlets throughout Miami-Dade.
The Transit Service Center.
At the EASY Card vending machine at the Miami International Airport, located in the bus-waiting room in Central Terminal E at ground level (arrivals), across from short-term parking.
Or by calling the EASY Card Center at 786-469-5151, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding County-observed holidays. TTY users should call 305-468-5402.

Only EASY Cards (not EASY Tickets) can be purchased or reloaded online or by telephone. Please note that there is a limit of three transactions, or $112, per credit card per day.

Using your EASY Card is...easy!

1. Tap in - Simply tap the card on the card reader, which is clearly marked on the bus farebox or Metrorail faregate. Your fare will automatically be deducted from the cash amount stored on your EASY Card. Transfers are also automatically deducted as needed.

2. Tap out- On Metrorail, keep your card handy as you will need to use your EASY Card to exit the station.

What's an EASY Ticket?

The EASY Ticket is a paper ticket that is good for only 60 days. The EASY Ticket can only be reloaded with the original fare product that was placed on it (either cash value or a daily or weekly pass).

EASY Tickets cannot be purchased or reloaded online or by telephone. They can only be purchased at ticket vending machines at any Metrorail station, at EASY Card sales outlets or at the Transit Service Center at the Government Center Metrorail station. EASY Tickets can be reloaded only at sales outlets or at ticket vending machines.
